During the preparation for childbirth, you should first of all register at a policlinic and register with an obstetrician-gynecologist at the place of actual residence, up to the 10th week of pregnancy. Pregnant women during the entire pregnancy will be monitored by a local obstetrician-gynecologist before giving birth.
After 30 weeks of pregnancy, the doctor will give you a sick leave, which will allow you to take maternity leave. During maternity leave, you should pass training for childbirth.

After you have been registered at a policlinic, the next thing you need to do is get registered for medical record within 10 weeks.

It is important to remember!
Throughout the entire period of pregnancy, a woman will need to pass a number of tests and undergo a comprehensive examination. The main ones are tests during registration, as well as screenings: ultrasound screening for congenital malformations and chromosomal abnormalities by trimester (at 11+0–13+6 weeks; 19+0–21+0 weeks; 30+0–32+6 weeks).
Registration of maternity leave (maternity leave):
Working women are granted maternity leave with a total duration of 126 calendar days (70 calendar days before childbirth and 56 calendar days after childbirth) in accordance with Article 99 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the event of complicated childbirth or the birth of two or more children, the leave is extended to 140 calendar days.
To register the leave, it is necessary to obtain a certificate of temporary incapacity for work (a sick leave certificate). It is issued by an obstetrician‑gynecologist (together with the head of the department or based on the conclusion of the medical commission) when the pregnancy reaches 30 weeks (and in the case of a complicated pregnancy or living in areas of environmental disaster — at an earlier stage).
Procedure for issuing:
The medical organization issues temporary disability certificates. One copy is issued for submission at the place of employment, the second — for the purpose of assigning social benefits for pregnancy and childbirth from the State Social Insurance Fund (SSIF) through the State Corporation “Government for Citizens” (CSC).
At the place of employment, the timekeeper fills out the back side of the sick leave certificate and affixes the necessary seals of the organization.
The employee submits an application to the HR department for maternity leave, attaching the sick leave certificate, after which the employer issues the corresponding order.
Unpaid leave to care for a child until they reach the age of 3 years:
The employer is obliged to provide unpaid leave to care for a child until they reach the age of 3 years upon the application of the mother, father, adoptive parent, or guardian (based on the child’s birth certificate). The leave can be taken in full or in parts. During the leave period, the employee’s job (position) is retained. The employer must be notified of the intention to return to work early one month in advance.
How to prepare for childbirth through Childbirth Preparation Schools:
To ensure a successful childbirth, expectant mothers are advised to attend special preparation schools at clinics. The classes are conducted by qualified obstetricians, doctors, and psychologists. The program helps to master breathing techniques, learn about delivery options (natural childbirth, cesarean section), and psychologically prepare for the arrival of the baby.
